Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 531,200 logic elements for implementing large, complex logic designs and system integration on a single device.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 28 Mbits of on‑chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and memory‑intensive algorithms without external memory in some use cases.
• I/O Density — 880 user I/O pins to support wide parallel interfaces, multiple peripherals, and board‑level flexibility.
• Integrated DSP and Transceiver Resources — Device handbook sections list DSP block specifications and transceiver performance specifications, enabling signal processing and high‑speed serial connectivity in the device family.
• Clocking and PLLs — PLL and clock tree specifications are provided in the Stratix IV documentation to support complex timing architectures and multi‑domain clocking.
• Power and Supply — Core voltage supply specified at 870 mV to 930 mV, enabling designs to meet the device’s recommended operating conditions.
• Package and Mounting — 1760‑FCBGA package (42.5 × 42.5 mm), surface‑mountable for standard PCBA assembly.
• Commercial Grade and Thermal Range — Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead‑free manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed communications — Use the device’s documented transceiver capabilities and high I/O count for serial links, backplane interfaces, and protocol bridging.
• Signal processing — Built‑in DSP block specifications and large logic/memory resources support filtering, encoding/decoding and other real‑time algorithms.
• Memory‑intensive logic — Approximately 28 Mbits of embedded RAM accommodates buffering, packet handling, and data staging for complex state machines and pipelines.
• Complex system integration — High logic element count and 880 I/Os enable consolidating multiple functions onto a single FPGA for space‑constrained or high‑integration designs.

Unique Advantages

• High on‑chip capacity: 531,200 logic elements allow implementation of large FPGA designs without immediate need for multi‑chip partitioning.
• Significant embedded memory: Approximately 28 Mbits of on‑chip RAM reduces dependence on external memory for many buffering and algorithmic tasks, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Extensive I/O: 880 I/O pins provide flexibility to interface with multiple parallel busses, sensors, and external devices directly.
• Documented system primitives: The Stratix IV device handbook includes transceiver, PLL, DSP and memory block specifications to support detailed system design and verification.
• Compact, board‑ready package: 1760‑FCBGA (42.5 × 42.5 mm) surface‑mount package enables high‑density PCB integration while maintaining robust electrical and thermal characteristics defined for the family.
• Compliance and manufacturability: RoHS compliance and a commercial temperature grade simplify sourcing and assembly for mainstream electronics products.
